chines andan objeetis to provide a simple and I fe'fiifcient machine for setting the teeth of liaiidsaws', b'andsawsianidj other saws; -A1'1- 5 other object is to provide means forfmovi 'ig thesawwith a step-by step movement incomi le e wi l'ea is, fo em t n a t i ie' tool during the'peri odswhen the sawfis at rest. Another ofbject is to provide for ready 9 a us menjto the operating'parts o'fthemach ne that the wearer saws of different size and character Jp p r yst m V a. The full-obiebts' id advantages of myihventioh wil ear in conhectihnlwith the detailed description the'rofy and the I tures of my inventive'idea will be particiilarly p'ointe'd out in thecl'aims.

' In the accompanying drawings which illust1*lt6 a practical embodiment of my invention, I e I Fig 1 is a top plan view of the machine. Fig. 2 1s a view 111 vertical sectionon the line 22 of Fig. 3. Fig. 3 is a view in vertical section on the line 3-3 of Fig. 1. Fig. i is a view similar to Fig. 3 except that 1t shows the. movable parts turned lnto another position.

i The machine may be supported in any suitable manner and as shown, ithas a base member 10 WhlCh is shaped to form a clamp whichis' provided with suitable operating means such asa'crank handle 20. The rear end of the shaft 18 carries a cam wheel 22v which is rigid therewith and as shown may be shaft by a pin24. The-Wheel 22 'is'pro'vided with a peripheral cam 26 and a face cam 28, these two cams being positioned substantially 180 from each other as will be understood from Figs. 3and4.

rotativenibveinent; The tubular member 58' ier eiid to the 7 conditioned by the machine. In order to maintain the screws 66 and in their adjusted position, a spring pressure device 71 is placed between them, this device being located in a recess in the upper end of the lever I 52. The lower portion of the standard is.

provided with a recess through which a setthe tool 70. The upper end of this lever is turned in so that it is engaged by the cam 28 once for every rotation of the cam wheel 22. A lock nut 82 on the screw maintains it in its adjusted position.

The operation and advantages of my in vention will be understood in connection with the foregoing description. In order to set the teeth of saws such as handsaws, the bar 30 is secured tothe saw blade in the manner I previously described and this bar carrying the saw is placed between the flange 34 and the resilient jaw 36 sothat the bar may be guided thereby, it being understood that the width of the .bar is such that. it will slidesmoothly between said flange and jaw. The blade of the saw is loosely gripped between the two jaws of the vise. Upon rotation of the driving shaft 80 in the direction of the arrow in Fig. 2, the cam 26 for each rotation tion indicated by dotted lines. Upon again tightening the screw 62, the setting operation may be performed in the manner previously stated, the only difference being that the direction of feed is reversed.

I claim: V

1. A saw-setting machine comprising a driving shaft, a cam carried by said shaft, a sli'dable member operated by said cam, an armsupported for l80.adjustment around the axis of. said slidablemember, mechanism supported by said arm and operated by said cam for feeding a saw step-by-step, a setting tool, and mechanism for moving said tool transversely to the line of feed during the intervals between feeding movements of the saw. y

2. A saw-setting machine comprising a driving shaft, two cams carried by said shaft substantially 180from each other, a slidable member operated by one of said cams, an arm 7 supported for 180 adjustment around the axis of saidslidable member, a lever intermediately pivoted to said arm with one end thereof engaged by said slidable member, a pawl carried by the other end of said lever for feeding a saw stepby-st'ep, and a setting tool operated by the other of said cams transversely to the line of feed during the intervals between feeding movements of the saw. Intestim-ony whereof I hereunto aflix my signature. I v FRED WV. JUHL.

will cause the feeding pawl 50 to swing to ward the right and feed the saw'for the distance between two teeth thereof, it being understood that this distance may be accu rately regulated in respect to the feed by means of the twoscrews 66and 70. When the cam 26 moves away from the pin 64, the

spring '68 immediately returns the pawl 50 to its original position, it being apparent that V V the pawl rests lightly by. gravity upon the b saw teeth in the inclined position shown in Fig. 2, so that there 1s very little resistance to its return movement. While the saw blade is at rcst,thecam 28 causes the setting tool 72 to be advanced and set the tooth which is adjacent thereto as shown in '3. As soon the cam 28 runs oil" the upper end ofthe' lever 76,:the spring 7% immediately retracts the setting tool so that the saw may be given 1 another advance -movement. As has been stated, the tool 72 acts onlyupon alternate teeth so that therefore in order tocomplete the setting operation, the saw is turned the other side out and fed through again. In

case it is desired to feed the ,saw towardf the left instead'of towardthe right, as shown in Fig. 2, the screw t2-is loosened and the arm 56 is swung through 180 into the post
